Abstract

Low Earth orbit (LEO) commercial communication satellite systems are currently being designed, constructed, and deployed. These systems are “low Earth, non-geostationary” satellite systems that will provide worldwide voice and/or data services. The first commercial voice and data LEO satellite communication systems went operational late last year. Additional systems are scheduled to become operational later this year. Broadband LEO satellite systems offering LAN networking and high-speed data links will also become operational in the next few years. This paper provides an overview of both operational and merging commercial low-Earth orbit communication satellite systems
